So I've been trying to get my license for over a year. I finally got some time to go down there and do it, and when we went out to practice the driving bit apparently I scared myself so much that I (being me the writer) left.
2 problems I can see...

1. seeing tail lights in front of me is mildly to really badly triggering... it depends on my state of mind... and then when I do see them- I get all worked up about them and it gets bigger and worse in my head.

2. I have lots of problems seeing in the dark, and just seeing in general (i wear glasses) so that makes me way over anxious (scale of 1-10 i'd be a 27) which makes everyrthing else worse.

BAH! How annoying.

When it's just me driving in the parking lot it's not as hard, there's no other cars and I have the radio or someone beside me to distract me... but when I get on the roar I get so tense (thing strings on a violin) I have gotten muscle spasms before.

Shadow has encouraged me to post this and it's taken a while and I'm not really sure what I'm asking or saying so i'm just going to press continue before I think about it too much. It'll be my suprise for her.
